EMPIRE STATE OF MIND

ARCHNY2HELLOOOOOO NEW YORK CITY!!! Our little family have relocated to Brooklyn for the summer. I've been here many times, but adding a hubby and bub to the mix sure gives the city a new perspective. I can't wait to explore and see what NY offers young families. Over the next few months I'll be featuring local labels, shooting at some amazing locations and profiling some inspirational NYC mamas.

It's Friday night and we're sipping Manhattans, playing dress ups and listening to some tunes. So here's to the city (and kid) that never sleeps. HAPPY FRIDAY MAMAS! PRESS PLAY XO
